Its December .. n In Delhi its normal for anyone to spend their afternoon in bed wrapped in a Quilt and wearing the most comfortable, lose yet warm clothes.. n excuses to spend that extra minute in the bed..holding the hot coffee mug till the last drop.. weekend Barbe-ques sumtimes in weekdays.... u can write names n make hearts on the glass windows coz of fog.. body ache .. running nose.. and fever..is as common as eating pea nuts in the sunny afternoons here in winters..Faking the air outta ur mouth as cigarette smoke..

You switch on the television to know that there is a recent snowfall in Shimla. Oh! That's why it's so chilled out here. You wish you could have changed the direction of the Himalayas or atleast the course of your holiday.

I am sure most of us( Delhities ) r going to agree to this..

I heard in a movie .. -An Affair to Remember, "Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories. " and I couldn't agree more..

Lost in the memories my Mom caught me in the Backyard this afternoon.. n clicked Me on my insistence.. N m not sorry for looking shabby ..coz its winters.. n I am a Delhite ..

I am wearing-( blue hoodie- bought it during my grad days from a stall in Kamla Nagar.., tights- Kappa, footwera- fit flops..)

More confessionz to come.. till then do it as Coco Chanel-" I dn't do Fashion.. I am Fashion"

Most people think Messy is Easy.. though they rhyme but that doesn't mean it is taht easy.... Messy is difficult to manage n hard to maintain.. But I am gifted with natural curls..!! and I simply love to Flaunt them..
Though I got bored with them sumtym back...and went for hair therapy( permanent straightening) n since then I have been waiting for my beautiful curls to grow back..

I Miss my old blond Curls..!!this is me in my Graduation Days..( here my hair are short.. n have straight bangs on forehead..)

But today.. my hair have sum length.. n are half curly .. half straight..( coz the roots have grown..n straightening is almost gone..)!! n i like them like that..!! I still keep front fringes straight.. n rest of my hair all messy..!!

And to get this smooth to touch yet messy look.. i follow the following steps..

* I wash my hair with-Schwazrkopf 's Time Restore Shampoo.. (make sure the water is not too hot or too cold.. as our hair anyways bear so much heat during the day.. n even during styling..)

* After the head wash I towel dry them n make sure that there is no do water dropping from them( coz too much moisture already will not let the conditioner or mask work on ur hair.. as there is no direct contact)..then I apply - Body Shop's Hair Butter..for4-5 mins.. and then rinse it off..

* let your hair dry naturally.. or else us can just use a dryer on the front bangs if only u r in hurry.. but the temperature shud be medium..n keep the heat away from the roots to prevent damage..

* I use this comb even when i apply the hair butter ( it evenly spreads it).. n before styling the bangs when they are wet... as once the styling is done u cant comb hair much.. coz it ruins the messy look.. (thats the secret tip to keep the look maintained..as combing opens the curls) so let ur hair take their shape naturally

* Before using the straightener is use Schwarzkopf's heat protection styling spray..to prevent my hair from the damage..

* I Use a Chaoba hair straightener on my Bangs n crown area..!!

* Last but but most important thing i do is I apply Osis Magic.. it makes my hair soft as silk.. and add luster..

* To finis the look.. i use Velcro Roller ..they give sum bounce n shape to the crown area..!!

Other things I follow in my hair care routine..

* I Shampoo my hair like 3-4times a week..
* I make sure i apply Olive Oil( Figaro) or Baby hair oil over nite or atleast an hourbefore washing my hair.. as it makes up for all the harsh styling and heat..
* I don't skip my deep conditioning or hair spa appointments.. thats sum effort u need to make if you love your hair..
* I apply Osis Magic Serum atleast Once a Day.. for the shine n luster..
* I try n Hyderate myslf wid cocnut water when I m out.. its gud for hair n skin.. plus its a healthier substitute for cold drinks n mock-tails..
*I keep myself well hydrated at home n try n include some green veges in my food..

Sumtymz such experiments turn out great! well in my case today! Yes..!!

I would like to thank Yukta for the amazing photography( for catching such weird expression n clicking me in such a weird pose..) also Jasleen..!! I always forget to thank her .. she has clicked sum of my best pics,,!!

Going to end it with my fav Coco Chanel's quote ," I don't do Fashion.. I am Fashion.."

( Dress- Pull and Bear) (Belt- Pull and Bear) ( Shoes- Catwalk) ( Watch- Aldo) I kept it simple with almost no make up like always..!! just a tinch of coral lip color over the lip balm for the natural n nourished looking lips, just a stroke of blush( again just a tinch on brush) and concealer under eyes and coral eye shadow..!! this always works for me!!this gives me a naturally clean look yet a no makeup effect!! .. *_^

Pipa Middleton knows how to make her dresses do double duty! *_^

In September, Duchess Catherine’s younger sister wore this FCUK 's black and blue dress with buckled black flats and a chain strap bag(right). Recently spotted( left), she took the look into winter by pairing it with black tights, of-the-moment patent leather tasseled loafers and her go-to Modalu tote..(Take a look at the pic below for more details)

Now.. thats a great way to recycle your existing wardrobe.. play with the accessories , tights , scarfs..!! with that old dress..!! and u r ready to rock! *_^

Thats about Pipa for now.. Love how Simple n Pretty She is.. So Graceful and Chic .. Effortless and my favorite Style Icon.. I love to follow her style and m gonna keep coming up with updates on her every now and then.. :)

Like I shared in my last post Graphic tartans are back this Fall.. Today I planned to wear a Shirt wid a Tank-top .. Shirt's collars are folded in a way to give it a look of a blazer.. (for early morning classes u need sumthing warm n Comfortable.. after all its Delhi winters..) To add color it this look i used a Pink color Tank top n pink flat Ballerinas(my most fav) and a belt to stop the collar from folding and to define the waist.. n a Vintage Bag .. That matches wid the belt.. not making it odd..!! i kept it simple.. didn't accessorize it much coz I was dressing up for my classes. odawise wud have been wearing a watch n my fav studs atleast..

Graphic TartanDress it up.. Pant it down.. or just The Chic Poncho ..!!

Plaids and tartans went big and bold this fall, with designers finding more inspiration from in-your-face rustic weaves than the understated checks of seasons past..

I absolutely love how Kim K has used the same digital print in the dress n the Poncho..( perfect the escape the chill.. )The print being different does not make tartans obvious.. but quite Chic and classy in d dress..which is so Kim.. & the Poncho is my personal favorite ..already looking so warm n chic at the same time..

If opting for Plaids n tartans make sure you sport it a lilall different than usual this time..be it in a different print ..of skirt..dress..pant or Poncho..

So.. this was a quick fashion update.. made real quick.. as m short of time.. submissions n assignments..keeping me busy ....Thats it for the day Fshionistas.. &till my next post.. like I always say..Do it as..Coco Chanel..-" I don't do Fashion.. I am Fashion.." xoxo- Shaily

1) Minus the Perfect pair of shades worn by the Kardashian Clan.. I really like the poncho Kim is wearing..!!Ponchohave come back with a bang.. n are here to stay this fall..Retro yet stylish.. Boho but Chic at the same time..a must have piece of clothing.. just sport it over any sweater or warmer.. n glam it up wid perfect accessories..!! n u are ready to rock.. *_^

2) Black blazer is all u need .. perfect for almost every occasion.. wear it over a dress or pants or over a casual denim n Tee.. just like Pipa...
she wears it for shopping.. and also for a day at work..in the pics below she is seen sporting the same blazer but at different occasions..!!

3) The Tuxedo Look..with a feminine touch..is a must try.. Black n white is the way to go.. with RED lips n that outfit u are ready to Rule ..!!

4)Colored Pants .. in different colors is also a trend that is making its way in the fashion scene real strong.. already a Hit among the celebs ..!! make sure you atleast have one of these ..!!

5) Channel your inner Shaft with coats that reach all the way to the floor. These Duster Coats look impossibly glam, especially when paired with the textured, filmy separates shown on the runway.

6) From Tron-like athletic Stripes to horizontal Hamburglar patterns, the stripes in the fall collections with bold and graphic.
